Sky Curtain: With a vermilion mirror, Jing travels through the modern world, shaking all dynasties.

On top are pieces of crystal-clear fruit, bright red, and emitting a slight chill.

Li Shimin was dumbfounded.

"What is this thing?"

The eunuchs and maids nearby looked at each other, none of them able to answer.

Little Sizi nestled in Li Shimin's arms, her eyes wide open, gazing longingly at the watermelon in the sky.

The frozen dessert in her hand was almost melted, and she forgot to eat it.

"Father Emperor, Father Emperor."

She tugged at Li Shimin's beard, "What's that red thing? The rhinoceros wants to eat it!"

Li Shimin himself was extremely curious. Could it be some kind of rare fruit that only appeared in later generations?

The modern world.

Jiang Chuan took another plate off the cart.

Inside were rows and rows of cleaned, bright red crayfish, piled high.

Zhu Jingjing was startled when she saw the crayfish.

"Is this an insect?"

She took a step back, somewhat frightened. "Why is it so red?"

Jiang Chuan laughed and explained to her, "This is a delicacy! Crayfish. You'll have to try it later. I guarantee you'll love it at first bite."

As he spoke, Jiang Chuan poured all the crayfish into the spicy hot pot.

"It's a real pity that your father, Zhu, didn't usually have chili peppers for seasoning. In the early Ming Dynasty, he could only rely on ginger and Sichuan peppercorns to make spicy flavor."

As Jiang Chuan spoke, he sighed, "Not to mention the Tang and Song dynasties, or the Qin and Han dynasties. Their seasonings were scarce and incomplete back then, they were far behind."

Before long, the crayfish were cooked.

Jiang Chuan put on gloves, picked up a shrimp, skillfully peeled off the head, removed the vein, and handed the tender white shrimp meat to Zhu Jingjing, "Here, have a taste."

Zhu Jingjing hesitated for a moment, then took it and put it in her mouth.

She chewed twice, then her eyes widened suddenly.

"Oh my God!"

For the first time, she exclaimed in surprise, "This stuff tastes so good!"

Spicy and fragrant, the shrimp meat is also very springy and chewy, and the flavor is extremely rich.

She quickly grabbed one and peeled it, just like Jiang Chuan did.

"Why didn't it exist during the Ming Dynasty?"

As Zhu Jingjing ate, she said with regret, "It's such a pity that Father, Mother, and my brother can't eat these things."

However, these crayfish are really spicy.

Zhu Jingjing's lips were red from the spiciness, her face was flushed, and she was sweating on her forehead.

"It's so spicy..."

She stuck out her tongue and fanned herself with her hand.

Jiang Chuan smiled and casually pressed a button next to the table.

hum-

A cool breeze blew out from the wall next to the table.

Zhu Jingjing was stunned.

"W-What's going on?"

She reached out and touched the air vent. "Wow, the breeze is so refreshing! Where is it coming from?"

Beyond the celestial canopy, countless emperors were stunned by this miraculous scene.

As Zhu Jingjing felt the cool breeze, a thought popped into her mind.

"Could it be...?"

She stared at Jiang Chuan, her eyes wide. "Is someone hiding inside the wall, fanning themselves with a fan?"

Jiang Chuan looked both amused and exasperated.

"How could someone be hiding inside the wall?"

He pointed to the air vent, "And can a person controlling the temperature control the airflow from a fan?"

He pressed the button a few more times.

The temperature had dropped significantly, and a cool breeze blew by. Zhu Jingjing took a sip of plum juice, and the spicy and hot sensation was immediately relieved.

"Don't you need someone to fan you?"

She became even more curious, "Then what's going on?"

Jiang Chuan thought for a moment, wondering how to explain it to her.

"This one is electrically powered."

Jiang Chuan explained, "You can think of electricity as the power source of the world today."

"Electricity enables this fan to spin, provides cooling, brightens the lights at night, and keeps cars running on the road."

Jiang Chuan pointed to the light above his head, "You could say that this world operates on electricity."

Zhu Jingjing looked up at the light on the ceiling.

The soft light shone down, very bright, many times brighter than the candlelight she used in the palace.

She looked out the window again.

It had gotten dark, and it started to drizzle sometime during the day.

The neon lights on both sides of the street lit up, turning the rain curtain into a colorful spectacle.

Inside the hot pot restaurant, the lights are warm, and soothing music is playing.

Zhu Jingjing was somewhat mesmerized; this feeling was truly wonderful.

The Qin Dynasty, Xianyang Palace.

Ying Zheng turned to look at Gongshu Ban and Mozi.

"What is this electricity?"

Ying Zheng looked at the two men and questioned them, "You two are unparalleled craftsmen in Qin, skilled in machinery. Is it possible for you to create electricity?"

Gongshu Ban's forehead was covered in sweat.

Mozi was also covered in sweat.

The two looked at each other, neither able to give a clear answer.

Gongshu Ban forced himself to speak and said, "Your Majesty, I don't even know what electricity is, let alone how to make it."

Ying Zheng snorted, "Useless!"

The two were so frightened that they knelt down with a thud.

The Great Han Dynasty, Weiyang Palace.

Emperor Wu of Han was also amazed, saying, "If this electricity could be used by the army, wouldn't the number of soldiers dying from heatstroke during the hot summer be greatly reduced?"

Wei Qing nodded and said, "Your Majesty is right, this thing is indeed miraculous."

Huo Qubing also figured out the trick: "Your Majesty, with such lights, we will definitely not fall into the enemy's trap when traveling at night."

Liu Che slapped his thigh and exclaimed, "That's right! It's also incredibly useful for nighttime camping, patrolling, and relaying orders!"

He became more and more excited as he thought about it, and he couldn't wait to get one right now.

The Great Tang Dynasty, Taiji Palace.

Li Shimin gazed thoughtfully at the myriad lights of homes against the sky, "So, with this electricity, we can create the cell phone that young man held, and we can also create lights?"

Wei Zheng, standing beside him, reminded him, "Your Majesty, I believe that pragmatism should be the priority."

Li Shimin looked at him.

Wei Zheng said, "We have only seen a little bit of what is on this celestial screen, not even the tip of the iceberg. To say that we can replicate electricity is probably extremely difficult."

Li Shimin nodded and said, "Minister Wei is right, but we must try, no matter how difficult it is. Go and let the craftsmen come and visit!"

The Great Song Dynasty, Chuigong Hall.

Zhao Kuangyin then asked the generals, "So, the iron horses of later generations could also be powered by electricity?"

The generals nearby exchanged bewildered glances.

Zhao Kuangyin grew increasingly excited as he thought about it, "If I could build such an iron army, I could rest easy!"

He sat upright on the dragon throne, his mind already filled with fantasies.

"No need for fodder, no need for rest, traveling day and night, covering a thousand miles a day—if this were used on the battlefield, it would be invincible!"

At the entrance of the Fengtian Hall in the Ming Dynasty.

Zhu Yuanzhang was also astonished.

He turned to look at Shan Anren, the Minister of Works who had just arrived.

"Come here."

He waved.

Shan Anren quickly stepped forward.

Zhu Yuanzhang pointed to the sky and said, "Take a good look at this. What is this electricity? You're one of my capable men now, so tell me?"

Shan Anren looked up at the sky, then at Zhu Yuanzhang, his face full of helplessness.

"His Majesty."

He forced a smile and said, "I really don't understand the intricacies of this place."

Upon hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang glared and said, "You don't understand? You are the Minister of Works, and you're telling me you don't understand?"

Dan Anren was almost in tears: "Your Majesty, I've never even seen that thing, let alone understood it. If you really want to punish me, then just behead me!"
